Milunka Savić was a real person and a Serbian war heroine who fought in the Balkan Wars and in World War I. She is the most-decorated female combatant in the recorded history of warfare. She disguised herself as a man to join the army in place of her brother and proved to be a brave and skilled soldier. She received many medals and awards from Serbia and other countries for her courage and heroism. She died in 1973 in Belgrade, but her legacy lives on as an inspiration for many people.
Milunka Savic fought in the Balkan Wars and WW1 and was wounded nine times. She won major awards from the Serbs, French, British, and Russia. In the later part of W1 the Serbian army was folded into the French forces and earned several French valor awards (she is the only female holder of the Croix de Guerre with Gold Palm). After the war the French offered her citizenship and a pension but she chose to return to her beloved Serbia. In WW2 the Germans arrested her and she spent several months in a concentration camp. A German officer recognized her and had her released. And yes, the opening scenes are based on an actual event. Milunka was living in obscurity in Belgrade and attended the jubilee services wearing her medals which led to recognition for her actions. The local populace forced the city government to grant her a pension even though the communist government of Yugoslavia refused to acknowledge her.
When they found out she was a woman when she was wounded, they offered her a nursing job. She refused so the Commander said he would let her know the next day if she could still fight. She stood there at attention for an hour. Finally the Commander gave up and agreed.
In 1912, Milunka Savić's brother who was ill with tuberculosis received call-up papers for mobilization for the First Balkan War. She chose to go in his place cutting her hair and donning men's clothes and joining the Serbian army
Greetings from Serbia, Everything that happened to a hero like Milunka happened to all heroes in all wars, they are quickly forgotten. Her feats are much more serious than anyone thinks, all the prisoners that Milunka captured during the raid into enemy trenches were later exchanged for Serbian prisoners so that she actually saved double lives, the lives of enemy soldiers and Serbian soldiers. Glory to God and may God give you peace, love and health.
The Opening Scene was a REAL HISTORICAL EVENT. Didnt ye guys heard the year and date. It was 50th Anniversary Of 1st World War. Ye can google the date and the place where that Memory Statue is located in Jugoslavia.
